5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my favorite books as a child & I STILL love it,
By
This review is from: The Mitchells: Five for Victory (Mitchells Series) (Paperback)
In addition to being entertaining, this book was also informative. Prior to reading it, I didn't even know what a victory garden was! I loved the characters and found them to be realistic and recognizable. Angela was the funniest. I love the stupid names she gave her doll. Traincrack was certainly an original name. Even today I laugh about Traincrack.On a more serious note, I was quite moved when Una/Eunice was reunited with her grandfather. The drawing of them together really touched my heart. It is a book I will never forget and am glad to say I own. (I lucked into this book -- I bought it at a book sale some years ago). This is a classic that should be revived. It is wonderful.

Excellent! A must read for kids!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mitchells: Five for Victory (Mitchells Series) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful story about a family during World War II. It gives a glimpse into life during that time period from Victory Gardens to rationed food. I love how the kids all try to help out and usually get along with each other. They are a typical family that work together to survive the war. I am loaning these books to everyone I know who has kids who love to read. This should be on reading lists at schools. The story is well written and entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book about growing up during WWII,
By annie.mitchell@lindypromo.com (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mitchells: Five for Victory (Mitchells Series) (Paperback)
So, I am a little biased - My last name is Mitchell, and I grew up in Washington, DC. In addition to being a wonderful series of adventures, this book is a great way to learn about the WWII homefront in our nation's capital. A must-read for any child beginning to read books with chapters.
